DoLongAction Replace

[Well-met]

hi

I'm trying to mod a thing for my character.

Essentially I want it so anytime a "dolongaction" is called, it should do "doshortaction" instead.

If this proves to be impossible, I'd just want to have ActionHandler(ACTIONS.HARVEST) use the doshortaction instead of dolongaction.

I don't really know if I got to mess with wilson's stategraph, or do some addprefrabpostinit thingie? Many times I've been fiddling with stuff pointlessly when it just comes down to 1 simple line.

help

Hi.

Here's the code for making your character harvest stuff quick.

Spoiler

local function MakeCharacter_HarvestQuick(inst)
	local _harvesthandler = inst.actionhandlers[GLOBAL.ACTIONS.HARVEST].deststate
	inst.actionhandlers[GLOBAL.ACTIONS.HARVEST].deststate = function(inst, ...)
		if inst.prefab == "charactername" then
			return "doshortaction"
		end
		return _harvesthandler(inst, ...)
	end
end

AddStategraphPostInit("wilson", function(inst)
	MakeCharacter_HarvestQuick(inst)
end)

AddStategraphPostInit("wilson_client", function(inst)
	MakeCharacter_HarvestQuick(inst)
end)

 

Just change "charactername" in the 4th line with your character's prefab name and put the code in modmain.lua and you're done.

sorry to bother but this does not appear to work.

I've put all 3 in the modmain and changed charname but it's still the dolongaction when I pick a grass tuft or a sapling.

Am I meant to put something in the character.lua? Or make a function to run MakeCharacter_HarvestQuick?

The two calls to AddStategraphPostInit already call MakeCharacter_HarvestQuick. Nothing more needs to happen. Please attach your modmain.lua to a reply, otherwise we can't see what's going on. Maybe also your character's lua.

modmain.lua

[Ultroman]

That looks correct, assuming the prefab name of your character is "melium". Time to break out the print-statements to see what gets called and what doesn't.

The code I gave you only makes it easier for your character to harvest stuff quick. (Harvesting crops, foods from crock pots, drying racks etc.)

If you want to make your character be able to pick saplings and other pickable items fast, then here's the code for this too. (replace the function and the postinits with the following code)

Code:

Spoiler

local function MakeCharacter_PickAndHarvestQuick(inst)
	local _harvesthandler = inst.actionhandlers[GLOBAL.ACTIONS.HARVEST].deststate
	inst.actionhandlers[GLOBAL.ACTIONS.HARVEST].deststate = function(inst, ...)
		if inst.prefab == "melium" then
			return "doshortaction"
		end
		return _harvesthandler(inst, ...)
	end

	local _pickhandler = inst.actionhandlers[GLOBAL.ACTIONS.PICK].deststate
	inst.actionhandlers[GLOBAL.ACTIONS.PICK].deststate = function(inst, ...)
		if inst.prefab == "melium" then
			return "doshortaction"
		end
		return _pickhandler(inst, ...)
	end
end

AddStategraphPostInit("wilson", function(inst)
	MakeCharacter_PickAndHarvestQuick(inst)
end)

AddStategraphPostInit("wilson_client", function(inst)
	MakeCharacter_PickAndHarvestQuick(inst)
end)
